Arsenal stars have begun discussing the form of title rivals Manchester City after the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, according to striker Michail Antonio. The forward claims that private chats have pivoted from discussing the team's own form to that of their closest competitors for the Premier League trophy.
It comes as the Gunners saw their lead at the top cut in half from eight points down to just four, with City holding a game in hand. It has put extra emphasis on the huge head-to-head between the two sides next week, but the immediate focus for the north London outfit is a home clash with Southampton on Friday.
"Every game is an opportunity," Mikel Arteta said in his press conference before hosting the Saints the next day. "Every game has given you a gift and that gift is what do you learn. We have another gift tomorrow and we have to take it and do it nicely in a way that we want it."
